How Old is That Bentley? Ex-Congresswoman and Port Champion Turns 90

How old is Helen Delich Bentley, the crotchety ex-congresswoman who could swear like the longshoremen she covered for years at the Port of Baltimore, now named in her honor?

Turns out she’ll be 90 on Thanksgiving. Sunday, she was feted with a celebration and roast that brought out a distinguished crowd of aging congressional leaders, former governors and senators, has-beens and wannabes along with hundreds of old friends. The event was appropriately held at the Museum of Industry on the Inner Harbor waterfront.
